Jessica Wilkinson is still getting used to life in the UK two years after moving from the US.
A mum who has moved with her family from the US to the UK admits there is one thing about living here that 'scares her daily'
‌
Jessica Wilkinson posts updates about her family and their travels on Instagram account @ourmicroadventures, which boasts 28,700 followers. In one recent reel, she spoke about their move to the UK and all the things they're 'still not used to'. The video starts with Jessica and her family in their new UK home, and an overlay text reads: "Things in our UK house we're still not used to two years later."
‌
The first thing she mentions is emptying the tumble dryer as she's seen pouring the water from the drawer down the sink, reports the Mirror.
‌
Jessica also is left baffled by the fact that there are no screens on windows.
Many American homes have screens on their windows to keep insects out and allow for good ventilation by letting in fresh air. They are viewed as a standard feature, particularly in places where mosquitoes and other insects are rife.
‌
The mum is also still getting used to turning on the electrical outlets to use things like the kettle in her home.
However, it is the last point which she admits "scares her daily" – getting the mail delivered through the front door.
Most Americans receive their letters through a mailbox at the front of their house.
‌
Following up in the caption, the mum wrote: "The last one still scares me daily.
"The adjustment with the move was much harder than expected. But two years later we've finally settled in and (probably thanks to double the sunny days this year) found there's so much to love about living here!"
